Jordan was still covering Milly’s eyes even though the commotion downstairs had subsided.

The sudden brightness made Milly flinch, having just adjusted to the darkness. She blinked several times, trying to get used to the light, and gradually felt more comfortable.

Jordan’s voice was still hoarse as he answered, “Mmm, you’re brave and you’re not scared, but I am.”

This time, he was here, and he would protect Milly.
